Built in 1850, the small jewel of Domaine Jessiaume sits welcomingly at the entrance of the tiny spa town of Santenay. Comprising over 37 hectares, there lies

within a cache of older bottles to inspire awe in any Burgundy lover, a collection of 100, 000 bottles reaching as far back as the 1908 vintage. A great respect for the environment, low yields and respecting the phases of the lunar cycle, this chardonnay sees 10 months in French oak barrel and 5 months in stainless tank before bottling. Aromas of linden, honeysuckle, almond and white fruit presence. Full-bodied, mouth-coating palate with nicely restrained creamy mouthfeel. The hallmark Chardonnay flavors display volume and freshness.

2016 Shaya, Verdejo, Spain ~ $15.99

Rueda is a very old wine growing region which flourished in the middle ages, but was ravaged by phylloxera a century ago. It was very slow to recover after the destruction of the vineyards, but was awarded D.O. status in 1980 largely on the quality of the Verdejo being grown there. "Old Vine" designation means a little something more in Spain, and many of the vines in this bottling are actually ungrafted, pre-phylloxera plantings which were spared from infestation by the sandy soil in which they are planted. This is made from old Verdejo vines grown in the province of Segovia. The wine is fermented and aged in 500- and 600-litre casks.

It displays a nose of toasty baking spices, nectarine, melon, honeysuckle and marzipan. A bit richer and more complex on the palate where you can feel the lees, followed by toasted notes from the barrel but in balance with fruit.

2015 Melsheimer, Handwerk, Dry Riesling, Mosel, Germany ~ $19.99

The family passionately believes in biodynamic viticulture.This approach in the vineyard is carried over into the winery, where the Melsheimer's have been organic winemakers since 1995, and have been Demeter certified and biodynamic winemakers since 2013 (currently the only estate in the Mosel to do so). Handwerk Riesling is so named in honor of all the work by hand the family does in the vineyards and the winery. In fact, most of their vineyards are too steep to farm any way but manually. Mosel Reislings represent the absolute epitome of the grape's signiture of intense minerality and unremitting tropical acidity. The Melsheimer estate crafts this cuvee from several of its prized estates, and the result is delicious!

2015 Domaine Jessiaume, Santenay 1er Cru 'Les Gravieres' ~ $42.99

This Santenay Premier Cru Les Gravieres is truly the iconic wine of Domaine Jessiaume since 1830. The vineyard is 5.10 hectares, making Jessiaume the principal owner of this Premier Cru. With a mid-slope position, facing south-east, the parcel is well positioned under the sun, and travels well through the four seasons. The light soil is composed of hard limestone, laced with marl. Many of the vines are well over a century old. The resulting Pinot Noir possesses deep coloration, tightly-packed aromas and delicate tannins. Harmonious, balanced and well-bred - the hallmarks of their Gravieres.

Avalon Napa Cabernet, 2014 ~ $23.99

"From the mountain peaks to the valley floor, Avalon Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon is the ultimate expression of this unrivaled wine region. We searched high and low for the lush flavors found in our Avalon Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon. The Napa region offers the ultimate combination of power from the mountains and finesse from the valley. Our Napa County Cabernet reveals layers of red cherries and blackberries, backed by vanilla and toasted oak. Avalon Napa County Cabernet is crafted with grapes grown in select sub-appellations of this world famous growing region: Rutherford, Oakville, and Oak Knoll."
